What makes a City Unscripted experience better than a conventional tour

We booked one tour with City Unscripted, for a half-day tour of Hong Kong, and then we were able to arrange with them for a full day tour of Lantau Island and another full day exploring Hong Kong with the same guide. The people at City Unscripted were very helpful and accommodating with this. Simon was a wonderful guide. He had lived a long time in both Hing Kong and Canada, so he spoke perfect English and Chinese, and he understood both the local culture and our perspective. Because these were private tours, we were able to customize what we wanted to see and how much time to spend at each attraction. Simon was very flexible and understanding. He was also very knowledgeable about the history and details of the places we visited. He kept the pace going briskly, without being rushed. The places we ate were not tourist traps at all but filled with locals. He met us at our hotel each morning, and then we traveled by foot, cab, subway, bus, and ferry.

Lydia was absolutely fantastic. She is very personable plus she is a licensed guide so knows a lot about the area. She was very supportive of making it easier since one of us has some ability issues. She suggested upgrades as needed. After the tour of the Buddha, she took us to a wonderful fishing village for a ride on a boat to see dolphins and then have a nice local lunch. I wish we had met her the day before and had two days with her instead of just one. Kent

Lydia is fantastic!!! She made traveling all the way from our cruise ship to the big Buddha easy as she knows the city well. She’s a licensed tour guide so has a lot of knowledge about everything. Had lots of suggestions about what we should do along the way. After the Buddha she had to go to a small fishing village named Ta Oi that was a lot of fun for a great boat ride and lunch. We would love to travel with her again.
